Felix Kwakye Ofosu has accused the former Nana Akufo-Addo administration of overseeing what he calls “unprecedented levels of corruption.” He said media investigations frequently exposed misconduct, yet very little was done to punish offenders. “There were too many scandals, you couldn’t even finish discussing one before another emerged,” he argued on Metro TV monitored by Lovinghananews.com, describing a period where wrongdoing became “palpable.” He claims that voters lost trust and demanded accountability, a demand which he believes John Mahama’s new administration has taken seriously by accelerating corruption investigations based on ORAL submissions. To illustrate the gravity of public pressure, Kwakye…

Felix Kwakye Ofosu has clarified the function and continuing impact of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee, the team set up to gather allegations of corruption from the public. According to him, ORAL was never mandated to prosecute or conduct detailed investigations. It was created as a preliminary information collection body, meant to sift through public submissions and forward credible leads to state agencies. He revealed that, from thousands of submissions, 280 cases were considered serious enough to be passed to the Attorney General. Investigations, he added, are ongoing: “Over 80 people have already been interviewed and some granted…

Felix Kwakye Ofosu has argued that purchasing state property at a low price does not automatically constitute corruption, unless investigations prove political influence or abuse of power. Speaking on Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV monitored by Lovinghananews.com, he explained that the law distinguishes between appearance and evidence of wrongdoing. He insisted that if a public officer undervalues state land for political allies, that is criminal, but the mere purchase itself is not. “If someone buys government land for ₵10,000, that alone isn’t a crime,” he stressed. The key issue, he said, is whether officials abused their position to facilitate…

He told Kimathi Rawlings that in one of his interactions with their late mother, he told her that her genes did not do any magic for her.
